JOHN BATHE (1849-1874) A FOLIO OF LIFE STUDIES, DRAWINGS AFTER THE ANTIQUE AND COPIES AFTER OLD MASTERS Approximately 65 leaves of student works, produced when at the Manchester School of Art or at The Royal Academy, most c.1866-1872, about nine signed or initialled recto or verso, pencil or charcoal, 72.5 x 51cm. and smaller; with a quantity of 19th Century facsimiles and lithographs after the Antique and Old Masters, presumably used by the artist as aids for learning (folio) Provenance: By descent in the family of the artist. * Bathe was born in 1849 in St. James, Bath, one of eight children of Richard (b.1807) and Harriet Bathe. Richard Bathe was a wine merchant and he educated his children in Bath. Census records show that John Bathe was lodging at St Giles in London by 1871 where he described himself as an `artist, paintings` but he had probably studied at the Manchester School of Art from the age of about sixteen. Bathe distinguished himself early with a Royal Academy medal and he exhibited a total of ten works (including two Thames scenes at the Royal Academy in 1872 and 1873) before dying tragically young of consumption in Eton in late 1874, aged just twenty five.
